These parmesan mashed potato patties are so good, you'll want to make sure you have leftovers next time you make mashed potatoes!!

I love making these patties whenever I have leftover mashed potatoes so I don't feel like I'm eating the same thing the next day. Serving size will change depending on how much mashed potatoes you have leftover. I wrote this recipe assuming you have half a batch of leftover skinny garlic mashed potatoes.

Fill a small bowl with egg whites, whisking well. Fill another bowl with the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, mix to combine.

Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, form potatoes into 8 patties. Brush patties with egg whites (or you can use your hands to spread egg on), then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place patties onto the baking sheet and spray the top with more cooking spray.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the bottom becomes golden brown; flip and cook an additional 10-12 minutes, until golden on both sides.

Ah! Ideal timing, I have leftover skinny mashed potatoes from last night. I'll try these if my husband hasn't eaten the leftovers - he says the skinny garlic mashed are the "best mashed potatoes ever" so they might be gone by the time I get home!

What a GREAT way to utilize leftovers? I'm a HUGE fan of doing this, actually. Just the other day I made a quinoa omelet by mixing some of my leftover quinoa & peas with a couple eggs. It came out super tasty!

These look tasty. I also love making my mashed potatoes into croquettes. Add a little protein into the mix in the form of fish, chicken or ham and you have a delicious completely repurposed main dish or appetizer.

Great recipe! I always ask, should we save the mashed potatoes? My Husband always says no, there gross the next day! Well not anymore, I am going to try this recipe the day after Thanksgiving. Thanks!!

I usually hate it when people post about a recipe before they've actually tried it, but I have to do it here. My kids are always begging me to make mashed potatoes but then they don't eat them as leftovers, so I'm definitely trying this next time I make too many mashed taters! Thanks.

Oh my goodness! {Brilliant} I cannot wait to try this with my family. Last week I had left over mash potatoes and I made potato muffins. I popped the oven up to 500, put a dash of olive oil in a 6-up giant muffin tin, mashed my leftover potatoes down and baked for 15 minutes. It was heaven. I came up with the idea after making this:http://pinterest.com/pin/170010954652761676/

I just made these and took them out of the oven! What a great idea, as without this recipe, the leftover Thanksgiving mashed potatoes would have ended up in the trash! The patties were a little hard to form at first, but by the 3rd one, I got the hang of it...word of warning...take off your rings before forming patties! :-) LOVE! Will make again!

now how much would the NI value change if I made them more like a boxty? Uhm....Irish potato pancake. They use half mashed leftover and half fresh grated. Makes forming easier and they stay together well. I do want to try these, but we are always looking for boxty recipe's too. Minus the bacon grease to fry in too...

I am cooking Mash Potatoes simply so I can have these as left overs tomorrow! I am usually not the one to cook, my husband is, but since finding this site and so many amazing recipes, we've been taking turns each night! We look forward to my night to cook... 21 recipes and counting! :)

I made the Skinny Garlic Mashed Potatoes yesterday just for the sole purpose on making these patties today. They were amazing! I did have problems turning them but I blame that on the fact I forgot to spray the pan with Pam. Duh. Next time I'm going to be lazy and just place the potatoes in a shallow dish and put the crumb mixture on top and maybe broil for a minute to crisp them up a bit at the end. But man oh man, these were good!! I still have some mashed potatoes left so I'm going to use them for potato soup. It should be amazing!

I made this with your garlic sweet potato mash and it turned out great! Didn't have the right breadcrumbs, so I used panko and added italian seasoning to it. Just be sure to handle gently when making and flipping.

Hi, Gina! Just wanted to let you know that I used this recipe, along with your Crock Pot Picadillo, to make some delish Papas Rellenas! Thanks for the lightened up Hispanic food - it makes this Cuban girl happy!
